and that courier and mutual fund company should seek appointment for meeting should write minutes of meeting after meeting in place of telephone contact, and demanded penalty payment, surcharge,expenses in occurred by them, principle amount with interest.
-courier company and mutual fund company started asking for telephone contact.
- The local representative of mutual fund company somehow obtained phone number and started coercing the husband to visit courier company office and collect envelope, and report that they are satisfied.
Husband declined and escalated the complaint to MS/company secretary of mutual fund company on email.
Mutual fund company sent email that the courier company has stated during their investigation that the investor declined to sign on run sheet of the courier during both attempts of delivery and hence courier has not delivered the redemption warrant.
The lady and the husband feel duped and cheated and want to take the best possible recourse to bring the matter to a logical conclusion.
Consumer complaint is one.
but they want to initiate criminal proceedings.
